Whoa.
Well normally that glitch happened when some special effect that required a directx buffer (zooming, stretching, setcolor) was happening, it often fucked up transparencies, randomly on many cards.
But uh. passive things like heads, hears, and everything else fucking up on your screen is untouched by that buffer…
Did you mangle your directx version recently, switch to a different OS?
Note to self: Get a more universal background color.
I haven't touched my DirectX in some time. And that shouldn't be an issue as it's been stable until today. However, I will try reinstalling to see if the issue is resolved.
The only change I did make was I updated my video drivers a couple days ago. But, I don't think that would cause such an error to occur. Guess I'll have to cross my fingers that reinstalling DX will fix it.
That did the trick. I'm assuming that the new ATI drivers overwrote something essential for DirectX and upon reinstalling, that file was reinstated.
If anyone else has this issue, now you know what to do. lol
I've seen it temporarily, sometimes when I open Beholder's QMenu a weapon or two would be messed up, but after closing and reopening the menu it would look fine. Think I've seen it happen just like that in the playerlist a few times too.
funny thing I've experienced something similar on waffles server. In the beginning area after the noob does a few quests, you have to get on a boat and it warps you to another place but just before it warps you everything has a dimming affect to it which goes into black. A Admin had warped me right when it was in the dimming affect to his spot and it carried the affect with me. the affect did not get to finish and therefore it didn't go away. The fix for me was to log out then back into server wasn't a big thing =P. Just a minor glitch and definitely not like the problem Koroshiya had.
Yeah, this happens to me with Beholder's QMenu. Whats funny months ago it worked like a charm and today it does what you said Awakened, I don't think its our falut, its something Beholder recently did to it.
Oi, I haven't done crap all. All transparancies are fine.
I tried using other methods for transparancies (RGB 0,0,0) but the glitch still happened to people. Its a fluke, a directX error this version of the Graal Client has, and ATI card users suffer more from it.
I have some transparancy issues on my server too. Nothing major, but in case it's related, I figure I should mention something, in case it can help.
But sometimes, the flames in my fireplaces start to glitch on the transparancy of the glowing flame. Not always, just once in a while. The glitch is the with the image, not the lighting effects (though they could be related, dunno). When it glitches, you see the transparent part of the flame image glowing too
Ah, that explains it. For a glow effect, I have a showimg of light2.png that uses zoomeffect. And effectmode to create shadow effects from the light, lol. My entire fireplace setup is fuxor, woo
Hm transparency is very buggy for me with this client, I'm using a nvidia card right now… guess I should try playing with disabled directx support then
I've seen that type of transparency error before…
I forget what caused it or how it was undone.
Yours is one of the unique cases. As things that don't have buffers used on them (zoom/effectmode/colors) are also failing to have transparencies. Including the native head i8mage, sprites.png, and state.png…
Check your Graal Version to make sure its not 2.1.7.0
Though I do think you're using the proper 2.1.7.1 version…
That's exactly what mine was doing, before. For some reason, an admin is following my posts and deleting my attachments (unless they auto-delete after so long. Boo).
Even if you think they're up-to-date, (re)install your latest graphics drivers and then (re)install the latest DirectX drivers, in that order. That's what I had to do to get mine working, again.
I don't think so, I deleted it because I seen a trace of an edited attachment – for the sake of more possible… I just deleted all. virus's / trojan's suck ty.
proper 2.1.7.1 client is installed and I reinstalled the latest DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
also the problem doesn't appear all the time… just when the player hits on certain areas of the levelboard… watch this movie to see what I mean: http://www.shazbot.de/files/trans.swf.html
What is your Graphic's card? (ie: Mine is an nVidia FX 5500)
What OS are you using? (Myself? Windows XP SP2)
But really… I have no fucking clue what could be causing that O_o
Check your nVidia drivers/settings, make sure its not trying to antialias graal or something.
haha, looks for damn familar, when the offical graal was still v2 I forget who but they removed this weird fucking client and it fucked up all the heads and bodies, it was a 'trainer' kind of client.
Whoa, that's screwed up! Like Dangerless said, try another client. We have links to several download sources. Keep trying until you find a good one. If that doesn't solve the issue, you have malware interference (most likely).
